- No Swede has wielded as much power for as long as Axel Oxenstierna—and few have used their power as constructively. Oxenstierna became Chancellor of Sweden in 1612 and held this position until his death in 1654. He remains Sweden’s only European statesman, and he played a central role in the creation of the modern state. Gunnar Wetterberg’s monumental two-volume biography, Kanslern: Axel Oxenstierna in His Time I-II, has been revised by the author into a more focused volume that highlights Oxenstierna’s role in state-building and his international contributions. The condensed version was published in paperback in 2013 and has now, for the first time, been translated into English. Despite Oxenstierna’s profound impact on both Swedish and European history, there has never been a comprehensive biography of him in English until now.

- The New York Times bestselling guide to thinking like literature's greatest detective. "Steven Pinker meets Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" (Boston Globe), by the author of The Confidence Game. No fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes. But is his extraordinary intellect merely a gift of fiction, or can we learn to cultivate these abilities ourselves, to improve our lives at work and at home?We can, says psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova, and in Mastermind she shows us how. Beginning with the “brain attic”—Holmes’s metaphor for how we store information and organize knowledge—Konnikova unpacks the mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights. Drawing on twenty-first-century neuroscience and psychology, Mastermind explores Holmes’s unique methods of ever-present mindfulness, astute observation, and logical deduction. In doing so, it shows how each of us, with some self-awareness and a little practice, can employ these same methods to sharpen our perceptions, solve difficult problems, and enhance our creative powers. For Holmes aficionados and casual readers alike, Konnikova reveals how the world’s most keen-eyed detective can serve as an unparalleled guide to upgrading the mind.
